Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:Arkansas Traveler(2)

Arkansas Traveler (2)

Arkansas Traveler (2)
I traveled out in Arkansas one day
On a freight that took my breath away
It went so slow the durn thing made me smile
Took a month and seven days to run about a mile
Oh it's fun to be a-ridin' trains
I mean a freight that's always late
In Arkansas there is no law against a freight that's late
If the train's on time it's ahead of time
That's why the freight is always late
No extra fare to get you there where you wanna go
I never want to take that trip again
Everything that crawled could beat that train
A snail that started with us in a race
Beat us by about three weeks and easily won first place
